I’m probably not going to be fishing while I’m on vacation for a week, but instead of surfing the internet over the next seven days, I will be boogey-boarding my way around some red-state waves.
I think it will be good for me, in the end, to get away from the computer for a bit — while a monitor tan is hot, nothing beats the real thing.
While I’m gone, The Tattered Coat will be in power-save mode. It won’t be completely dark, however: I’ve prepared seven “Caption This Photo” posts for your captioning pleasure. I’ve got some good pictures lined up, so be sure to check in from time to time — I hope to find some funny lines in my inbox when I get back.
I’ve also set up a few open threads in case you feel like starting your own conversation or linking to some of your own blog posts. Share the love.
If you want to keep track of The Downing Street Memo in the coming week, you can turn to these excellent sources of information:

For general entertainment and enlightenment, you can turn to these fine purveyors of blog wisdom, whose sites I have very much enjoyed as of late:
Lance Mannion
Skippy the Bush Kangaroo
Feministe
CJR Daily
1115.org
Crooks and Liars

And for Philly news and views, of course, you can do no better than to turn to Philly Future, and to some of the wonderful sites listed on this blog’s sidebar (I don’t want to pick favorites among my brothers and sisters — they’re all good!).
I hope that everybody has a good week. I will miss you.
